Program Notes
For fans of the legendary Canadian band RUSH, this is the documentary to experience. A comprehensive exploration of the entire history of this extraordinary power trio, from their early days growing up in Toronto, through each of their landmark albums, to the present day. Sit back and revel in the words, music, and wonder of Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson, and Neal Peart.
With a career spanning four decades, RUSH is one of the most successful bands in the history of popular music, but despite their remarkable career achievements, they have never been recognized as critics' darlings. Directors Scot McFadyen and Sam Dunn instead revel in interviews with the band's admirers and contemporaries, including Gene Simmons (Kiss), Billy Corgan (Smashing Pumpkins), Sebastian Bach (Skid Row), Kirk Hammett (Metallica), Jack Black, and others. Chock-full of rare backstage and concert footage, RUSH: Beyond the Lighted Stage leaves no stone unturned in its creation of an intimate portrait of these immensely talented and iconoclastic musicians.

hopefully it'll do well enough, some distribution will happen and many of us won't have to wait for it to hit Netflix to see it.
-
There is talk that it will come out on DVD in May! Lest's hope so!
-
Wow, I'm not the biggest Rush fan but I would really love to check this out.
-
Welcome to this edition of things we've been discussing in the Rush thread for the past several months. :p
But yeah, big enough to get its own thread.
-
Can't wait :caffeine:

Well, what did you expect Weinrib to be? Scottish? :lol

They really went into Geddys jewishness, but did they even mention Alex being jewish? If they did they really didn't go into much I don't think.
Also, why didn't they mention that Neil was jewish? I mean, who cares if he really isn't? We can pretend.

No, no, it was Polka until some self-named genius came along. :neverusethis:
-
I am still only 40m into this thing, but so far this is the best documentary I have seen on any band...great representation of the band done in a great way
-
It really is fantastic. My favorite moment is when Geddy and Alex are eating at a restaurant, and Geddy is signing autographs. Alex, meanwhile, eats his food and is completely unnoticed.

The best part of that scene is when Geddy asks the woman if she wants Alex's autograph too, and she thinks he's joking. :lol

Picked it up on Blu-ray. I got it at Borders, where I never usually buy music because it's always full list price, but I had a gift card and a 40% Off coupon, so I'm sure it worked out. Then I forgot to use the gift card, so basically I bought myself a birthday present. Still, it was the best present I got, and yeah, it's a kickass documentary.
The bonus footage is amazing! You get the "long version" of a lot of those little interview snippets scattered throughout the doc, including the "Rush has dinner and slowly gets drunk while the cameras roll" and some great historical footage, including a completely amazing performance of "Working Man" by the original lineup.
-
i didn't even think of the bonus features....thanks!
-
The main feature had to be kept to a manageable length because it did get a cinematic release, but obviously they'd gathered tons of material in preparation for making the doc in the first place, so the "bonus" stuff is almost comical because there's more material than in the main feature. Every minute of it is gold, though.

Aside from the Rutsey Footage, the extended dinner scene, and a few "deleted/extended" scenes, I wasn't that impressed with the live clips as most of them were on other DVDs.
Two live clips I did like were the definative copy of "La Villa Strangiato" at Pinkpop in June 1979 and "Between Sun And Moon" from the Hartford 2002 show that Geddy dedicated to the recently-late (at that time) John Entwistle.
I would have enjoyed more stuff that hit the cutting room floor, even if it didn't exist beyond its raw state.
